market responded TO the decline. but shortly
afterwards recovered under liberal buying
by the short interest. The large amount Of
bonds sold 10 the Treasury yesterday was
not known till after the close Of business,
and it has been taken as an indication that
holders are will ng to accept the offer of the
Government. The moral effect has prob
ably been greater than the absolute imme-
diate relief, and the bank statement to-
morrow cannot be expected 10 show the real
result. During the latter part of the day
there seemed to be a want of activity. and
values AS usual fell off somewhat, and closed
lower. The usual tendency TO sell stocks
before the half holiday had. no doubt, a
considerable influence, and the short inter

IL is we'll known that q cold sensation
reaches the Consciousness more rapidly than
a sensation of warmth. DR.. Goldscheider, Of
Berlin, whose researches OF the hot and cold
points Of the skin have gained him a high
reputation, has, ii IL claimed, at last accurate
" measured the length Of time necessary to
perceive these sensations. The observations
were made on parts equally sensitive to heat
and cold. and with intensitieS OF heat and
cold equally different from the temperature
Of the part The time Of contact was recorded
electrically by means OF a metallic button
fixed TO the skin. Contact with q cold point
was felt on tho face after 1873, on the arm
after Is. on the abdomen after -. on the knee
after - h%undredths Of Il second. The sersa-
ton of a hot point was felt on the same sur
faces after 10, %, 81 and ~ hundredths Of a
second, respectively. This great difference in
time has All important theoretical bearing on
the physiology of dermal sensations.

One of the saddest facts i'll connection
with the lives Of the people of America
is that they ''don't want TO bother"
That is to say, they don't want to spare
time enough for anything but money
making and amusement. The house
which nature has provided is neglected
in order to save enough money to put
into a house" which has been built with
hands. Sleep is neglected so that a per-
sonal appearance may be made at some
social gathering. Digestion is disturbed
because there is no time to be spared SO
that the machinery of the body may have
a chance to perform its work. Bathing
is neglected because, for lack of a more
forcible reason, such and such men and
women have lived to old age without it.
TOO much trouble to bother" when
the body does not cry aloud for attention.
When it does it is too late. The man
whose teeth do not trouble him would
look upon it as a prodigal waste OF time
to go to n dentist and AVE them cleaned.
He has a brush and powder, and these
suffice, he thinks, for all that is required.
He doesn't know that the hard. substance
which forms around his teeth is tartar,
and that the teeth are in danger Of per-
manent injury when it is permitted to
remain. Because sit is too much trouble
to bother" the house of clay. which
might be made to grow in beauty"
accumulates the materials of decay

C~avanaugh's Case.

The LEADER reporter Yesterday inter-
viewed Deputy Sheriff P. F. Sullivan,
who brought Cavanaugh to Cheyenne
under arrest night before last. The
trouble which led to the arrest of Cav.
anaugh occurred at the ranch of Henry
Ritling; three miles from Fort Laramie,
and it is claimed by the prosecution that
Cavanaugh fired with a rifle at one of the
W girls who frequent that place, the
bullet lodging in the door above the girls
head. Cavanaugh claims hat the dis
charge of the gun was accidental and that
he did not know it was loaded at the time
he took the rife in his hands. C~avanaugh
was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Sullivan
and in the preliminary examination be-
fore Justice Hart he was held to bail in
the sum of $500, which being unable to
give he was committed to await the action
of the next grand jury.

DIR. Whittier, of Broolline, who has
examined the eyes of members Of the
upper classes in the high school of that
town, states that over so per cent. Of the
pupils have some affection of the eye.
Thirty-four per cent. of those examined
were troubled with myopy, 10 per cent.
with hyperopia, and @ per cent. with
various other eye troubles. "Of these IA
per cent. were astigmatic to some ex-
tent" says the doctor. VI propose to
examine the same pupils eyes one year
from now, TO see what changes have
taken place, especially in the myopic
eyes. So far, / find that nearsightedness
seems to increase in proportion as our
school system becomes more complex,
and pupils are obliged to apply them
selves more closely to their work. A
larger per cent. of myopic eyes are found
in city than in village or country schools"

A FEW PLAIN WORDS.

If The LEADER has to talk plainly at
times, it is not for the purpose of making
ostentatious display of any grievances it
may have. This paper is conducted on
business principles and has ever stood on
its own bottom without regard to patron
age. The LEADER has fought the battles
OF the Democracy of this county and ter
rltory for several years, and it is to-day
the only daily organ of the Democratic
party in this territory. The LEADER has
worked hard early and late for the success
OF its partY's candidates, and has not de-
manded nor received one nickel for these
services. Most of the candidates for
office it has helped into places of honor
and profit have fully appreciated the
favor and reciprocated when the opportu-
nifty offered. The exception to this rule
is formed by a few individuals who have
so high an opinion of their own great
merits" that they consider their elevation
to Office only as a public recognition of
their brilliant talents "-when in fact it
was the improper use Of a few dollars
and treachery to their political associates
that brought about the great victory"
These cyclists have repeatedly declared
that they are not indebted to THE
LEADER for anything, when the fact can
be established that they are indebted to
this Office for everything and remain SO
indebted TO the present day-even for the
very ballots that their misguided constitu-
ents cast for them on election day.
We speak Of this matter at present
while we are all s%erenely resting from
political turmoil and with another election
eighteen months away-in order to give
ample notice that hereafter The LEAHER
will work only for its friends. Only those
who sustain it, speak a good word for it,
when deserved, and who will when in
Office try to repay it for services rendered,
will hereafter receive THE LEADERS, aid
when they desire to climb the political
ladder. The old cry SO often heard
daring the last campaign that THE
LEADER is Democratic and all right any
how; let US give our money to some other
paper" will not win another victory.

Christian Association are canvassing the
city for obtaining subscriptions to a most
commendable enterprise-the building OF
a suitable structure to be used by the as

its meetings may be held. 1t is quite
probable that if a building of this kind is
erected some arrangements will be made
whereby the city library may be kept
therein. The committee have thus far
met with reasonable success. but it is an
enterprise that ought to receive the sup

The daily real estate transactions in
Cheyenne are getting to be SO numerous
and of such magnitude that they are
computed by the hundred thousand dol
lars, and some of the sales now being
made are very important ones in every
of the word. The Burlington x
Missouri alone have already invested
$l44, 00e in real estate in Cheyenne and
its immediate vicinity. Still, however,
some people keep wondering whether the
boom means anything or not.
